This composite of three images from the navigation camera shows the view
from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity toward the southeast, in
the direction of "Victoria Crater," on the rover's 817th Martian day, or
sol (May 12, 2006). To reach Victoria Crater, still about 1,100 meters
(two-thirds of a mile) from this location, the rover must navigate among
the large ripples visible on the left and ahead in the distance.
On this sol, Opportunity was preparing to deploy its arm instrument suite
to analyze a rock on the outcrop pavement. At upper right is a small
depression that was the target of further imaging on sols 825 and 826
(May 20 and 21, 2006).
